Instructions

Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.

Add vegetable oil and Greek yogurt once the yeast mixture blooms. Stir.

Combine the salt and flour in a large mixing bowl.

Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture.

Use your hands to get the dough incorporated.

Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Set it in a warm area to rise for 45 minutes.

As soon as the dough has doubled in size it is ready to cook in the slow cooker.

Line the slow cooker with parchment paper.

Roll the dough into a loaf shape and place in the slow cooker. You can also use your hands to shape it into a rectangle and fold each long side in and roll it into a ball (like traditional sourdough).

If you prefer, you can score the top. It will not keep the design but it will give it more of a sourdough look.

Place the loaf in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, let the loaf cool and then slice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Greek Yogurt for Authentic Tanginess 🥛
Use full-fat Greek yogurt and add it to your dough 2-3 hours before cooking to develop the signature sourdough tang through fermentation, mimicking a real starter.
Slow Cooker Liner Protection 🛡️
Line your slow cooker with parchment paper before adding dough to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of your finished loaf without damage.
Water Bath Steaming Technique 💨
Place a small water-filled bowl inside the slow cooker alongside your dough to create steam, which develops a crispy crust similar to oven-baked sourdough.
Optimal Temperature Setting ⏲️
Use the LOW setting for 4-5 hours rather than HIGH to achieve even cooking and better crust development without burning the bottom.
Final Crisping Step 🌟
Transfer your finished loaf to a preheated 400°F oven for 8-10 minutes to achieve that coveted sourdough crust with a golden-brown exterior and crispy edges.
